Chassis Mount DC-DC Converter Suits Harsh Environments

Calex Manufacturing Company introduced its HCM Series high power density chassis mount DC/DC Converters. These 150 Watt rugged, encapsulated DC/DC converters are suitable for harsh industrial and COTS military applications. All 10 models in the series offer a wide 4:1 input range, from 9 V to 3 6VDC and 18 V to 75 VDC, making the units appropriate for 24 V industrial, 12 V and 24 V battery applications and 48V power sources. The output voltages available are 3.3, 5, 12, 15 and 24 V DC. All models are isolated input to output. The HCM Series’ enclosure provides a "clamp" style recessed barrier strip which secures wire without twisting. The enclosure can be mounted with the barrier strip facing up or down depending on what is preferred for the application. The thermal characteristics of the enclosure provide a desirable 3C/W dissipated thermal impedance. The enclosure also has threaded inserts for securing a heat sink if needed for extended temperature applications.
